The Cincinnati Bengals will be without cornerback DJ Turner II for the foreseeable future due to a broken clavicle sustained in a recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Zac Taylor indicated that while it is uncertain if the injury will end Turner's season, he is expected to be placed on injured reserve. This injury adds to the Bengals' defensive woes as they are already missing another starting cornerback, Dax Hill, due to a torn ACL. The team's cornerback situation remains complicated as they look to regain consistency in their secondary.
- The Bengals are facing significant challenges in their secondary with multiple injuries.
- DJ Turner II was performing well before his injury, highlighting the impact of his absence.
- Cam Taylor-Britt will need to step up after being benched earlier in the season.
